Russia 'Indignant' at Ukrainian Escalation Claims by US Envoy to OSCE

2014/09/01

MOSCOW, September 1 (RIA Novosti) – Russia is “indignant” at comments made last week by Daniel Baer, the US envoy to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Monday.


“We are indignant at the fact that the US diplomat, who used to make hideous anti-Russian statements in the past, has crossed all boundaries of diplomatic decency this time. His baseless accusations were full of blatant assaults and rudeness directed at our country,” the ministry said in a statement.


During the extraordinary OSCE meeting in Vienna last Thursday, Baer accused Russia of sending personnel and armored vehicles to Ukraine in what he claimed constituted “a new Russian escalation, including a Russia-directed counteroffensive” and “actions that are in clear violation of international law and OSCE principles and commitments.”
